A bunch of polls from republican firm Strategic Vision and a small 1 pt shift in Rasmussen flipped a couple states.

Folks, you really, really need to stop panicking over what are basically statistical fluctuations. What these numbers show us is that the election is basically tied as of right now. So random fluctuations in polling samples can flip things wildly one direction or the other.

If people are going to keep getting flustered by these flips back and forth then I'd suggest you get another hobby than politics. Stamp collecting. Tae Bo.

Politics isn't for the weak of heart. It requires the ability to accept fluctuations in polls without heart attacks.
